@LeePerformance: Congrats to 3 Star RB #JESSE_BROWN for picking up an offer from #Northwestern
Wow! He wasted no time despite some attractive offers from other schools.
Congrats to Jesse! Welcome aboard!
Congrats to Jesse! Welcome aboard!
Love that. He had offers from all 3 service academies so he must be a high character young man!
Wouldn't be surprised if he's from a military family coming from outside Atlanta. Brother is a RB at Navy as well.
What is up with Inside NU? They went negative again on a commit. They made it very clear that he "apparently" runs a 4.45. We all know 40 times can be inflated, but their article focused on the fact that he might have run a 4.45. Why not just say he was timed according to HUDL at that and leave it at that. Those guys used to do great work, but have been churning out some real garbage of late.
Yep...they've gotten really bad. Very pessimistic about everything, with rarely a compliment or good thing to say. Don't understand why someone would devote his time writing about a team if nearly every take he has is negative.
I haven't looked at whether inside NU is a student site, but as a 35 year TV veteran and a former college TV sportscaster I can verify that most college kids are morons at that age. Full of piss and vinegar and think that they are much better than really are. Perhaps this is the case here.
Northwestern SB Nation hasn't been nearly as good since Rodger Sherman left.
Agreed. He is fast enough. On a few runs you can see a defensive back in pursuit who is a step faster. But Brown looks pretty quick to me. What's really striking is his ability to take very good angles and find routes to the second level. Seems very instinctive in traffic, with fluid feet and good cutback skills. He's not as fluid as JJ, but few are. Good get for NU!
